IEEE 1394 port

Possible applications are operations and data transactions with various digital AV
equipment. A SHARP digital View Cam camcorder can be connected to the IEEE
1394 port with an optional connection cable. You can capture the image and edit the
data transmitted to your computer with 

Studio DV

, which is pre-installed in your

computer. See online help of 

Studio DV

 for more details.

When two or more IEEE 1394 compatible devices are connected to the computer in
a daisy chain, operations and data transactions are possible with not only the
equipment that is directly connected, but also with other devices via the directly
connected device.

The baud rate for the IEEE 1394 port varies from 100Mbps to 400Mbps.
